Does the salt air near the Mukilteo ferry terminal damage asphalt shingles?

Salt spray itself doesn’t eat the asphalt, but it can accelerate the corrosion of metal flashing, valley tins, and roofing nails. If these components fail, the shingles can lift or leak, which is why we recommend specific corrosion-resistant hardware for homes within a mile of the water.

Is metal roofing better than asphalt for the high winds on the Mukilteo Speedway hills?

Both can be effective, but metal roofing often has higher wind uplift ratings, making it a favorite for exposed properties. However, high-quality asphalt shingles with specialized adhesive strips are also designed to withstand the gusts that come off Possession Sound.

How often should I clean my gutters if I live near Big Gulch?

Homes near heavily wooded areas like Big Gulch or Japanese Gulch often need attention twice a year. The mix of maple leaves and fir needles can create a thick sludge that regular gutters can’t shed, making gutter guards a very popular investment in these neighborhoods.

I requested a consultation from Guardian Roofing and was pleasantly surprised when they were able to squeeze me in the same day due to a schedule change on their end. The technician was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to our concerns. The entire experience left us feeling confident and comfortable moving forward with Guardian Roofing for our upcoming project. While I didn’t obtain quotes from other companies and initially felt their pricing was on the higher side, I truly believe you get what you pay for. The level of professionalism and exceptional service we received made it clear that the value is there. We’re happy to pay a little extra for quality work and outstanding customer care. We’re hopeful the work itself will be completed with the same high level of care and attention that was evident during the consultation.

Uriel, provided great information about our workshop re-roofing project. He was knowledgeable roofing professional, a great communicator and a great representative of Guardian Roofing. Uriel provided a wonderful overview of work for the and throughout the day gave updates and was sure to keeping me informed on what needed to be done and the method and materials to be used on our re-roofing project. Our new workshop roof looked beautiful and Uriel cleaned the entire area around the workshop. We had an excellent experience working with Uriel and Guardian Roofing.

Hopefully, I picked the correct installation technician ("Gabe - 20ish young man w/blondish hair). He was an excellent tech. Although he was accompanied by another technician during the initial tear down & install of my new "K-Guard" gutter system (I think his name was Tim & possibly the "lead"), Gabe seemed to be mainly responsible for most of the sheet metal work (down spouts, catch traps, end caps,etc.). They were both extremely efficient during the install. Because they had a problem with the machine that extrudes the gutters, they were not able to finish approximately 10 ft of gutter in the correct color. Knowing this in advance, they came prepared. They brought enough linear footage in another color to complete the job and protect my home until we could schedule another time for them to return and complete the job. Gabe returned and finished the install with the correct color on my schedule, as I was recovering from surgery. My home has what I would call an unconventional patio roof installation where the main roof gutter runs under my patio. With extremely heavy rain, some (not most) water may slightly overflow the K-Guard "hood" and collect as droplets on the underside of the gutters. Because I required the underside of my patio to be completely dry for storage, I needed a solution for this problem. I called Joe in Guardian Operations for Oregon about the problem and he promptly scheduled Gabe to come back to help. The solution was to remove the portion of the hood under my patio so the gutter could collect ALL of the water from the main roof w/o any overflow. Problem solved! Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with Guardian! Starting with my interactions with my salesman, Grant Lucarelli (professional, courteous and respectful of my needs), the operations staff (scheduling and problem solving) and last but by no means least the expertise and professionalism of their installation technicians (care for my home and excellent cleanup), specifically Gabe! After finishing the job, Guardian's Quality Assurance person, Emory, came over to make sure I was satisfied with their work and exhibited the same exceptional qualities as the rest of the Guardian professionals. Based upon my experience with Guardian, I can most highly recommend them for your gutter replacement and/or repairs. I will be using them again for my backyard shed's gutter replacement this Spring 2026. Ok... it's Spring 2026. Time for shed gutters. The Guardian Team did it again! Great service from Sales (Curran), Project Mgmt (Robert), and Installation (Jose & Gabe), from beginning to end. Another excellent customer experience delivered by a professional company!

Very friendly and professional employees came out to do the job. They cleaned up afterward and left everything as they found it. They were courteous and explained every service they performed very clearly. They went above and beyond by checking in the attic and found some additional issues I hadn’t foreseen which required immediate repair and provided before and after photos of the work. That is a major confidence booster. I greatly appreciate the work they did and the professionalism they displayed throughout the time they spent at my home. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a similar service.
